According to Osho, Krishna’s tolerance signifies inexhaustible patience guided by intelligence: he bears abuse not out of weakness but until further forbearance would reward unrighteousness. His killing of Shishupal marks compassion’s boundary—stopping evil to prevent its spread. True tolerance balances one’s endless patience with decisive action when another’s impatience goes berserk—the golden mean between forbearance and protecting dharma.
Be very patient, but when patience would help harm grow, kindly and firmly stop it.
